Target's Goodwill Mission

Department: Greening Target

In an effort to reduce waste (and for tax purposes, natch), Target teamed up with Goodwill Industries to donate customer returns, damaged items, and seasonal items (holiday, summer, back-to-school, See.Spot.Save) for sale through Goodwill's thrift outlets.



This is good news for shoppers that didn't catch the items while they were on the shelves at Target (like this felt covered message board from the 2006 Independent Studies collection). The prices are usually equal to or less than what the item was originally priced at in the store.


(original price: $14.99 - Goodwill price: $4.99)

The Goodwill prices, however, are occasionally higher than the Target clearance price. So you're better off staking out when your favorite collection is set to go on clearance at Target - and show up early!
